Aquila, an Uncommon card
Aquila is a constellation on the celestial equator. Its name is Latin for 'eagle', and what it represents is mixed, some say it represents the bird that carried Zeus/Jupiter's thunderbolts in Greek-Roman mythology, while others say it was the bird that Zeus ordered to attack Prometheus.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Aquila's brightest star, Altair, is one vertex of the Summer Triangle asterism.
- The constellation Aquila is best seen in the northern summer, as it is located along the Milky Way.
- Because of this location, many clusters and nebulae are found within its borders, but they are dim and galaxies are few.
Why it is Uncommon
